Reversible intramolecular cyclization reactions to form crown ethers are possible with photoactive anthracene derivatives containing two binding sites (see scheme). Different chemical inputs in the form of HgCl 2 and Na + ions result in changes in the efficiency and rate of the forward and reverse processes.
